Web design franchise set to expand nationwide

Web design franchise ORCA Websites has launched its nationwide recruitment drive and wants to attract prospective franchisees that possess good business management and people skills.

ORCA's Franchise Business Advisor John Thompson says: 'The company has created a solid platform for growth and has 447 territories across the UK up for sale. Prospective franchisees do not need an IT background as ORCA provides the central bank of highly experienced website designers. The responsibility of the franchise owner is to source and meet businesses who could benefit from a website and maintain customer relations and ensure individual requirements are met.'

ORCA was established in January 2006 and provides search engine-friendly, big-brand quality websites at affordable prices for small businesses.

Alison Henderson, owner of the Warwickshire territory, says: 'Every multi-million pound enterprise started life as a small business, so I'm delighted to be helping firms take on the big brands by using their website as a truly effective business tool. 'It really is their shop front to the world - maximizing their advertising and enabling them to sell, literally, while asleep.

'What impressed me most about ORCA is its focus on the specific needs of individual businesses. Their team of specialist website designers produce tailored sites to enhance the business of particular customers. We're not just selling any old website for its own sake. There is never one-size-fits-all - all businesses have unique selling points and specific target customer bases.'
